Gary Baseman Mythical Creatures
Currently being finished, feature documentary Mythical Creatures, has been selected to the prestigious Sundance New Frontier Lab and will premiere at the festival in 2020.
Part Pixar, part History Channel, artist Gary Baseman and filmmaker David Charles travel to Ukraine to uncover the Holocaust experiences of Baseman's parents, and re-imagine their heroic stories through an inspiring, fantastical, heart-wrenching odyssey.
In another content push for MOCA, we created an animated short in collaboration with artist Gary Baseman and South-African duo Die Antwoord. The Buckingham Warrior is a tale inspired by Garyʼs father Ben Baseman who survived the holocaust, fighting the Nazi invasion in Ukraineʼs birch tree forest for almost 4 years.
The odyssey will unveil intriguing secrets, myths, and stories of the Holocaust told through animation, theater, and other fantastical storytelling.
